Surrogacy is when a woman carries a baby to term for another couple. The majority of surrogacy cases are gestational, and this means, the surrogate doesn't donate her own egg, so that she is not genetically related to the child she is going to carry. Instead, the egg and sperm are from the intended couple or donors. For more information on surrogacy, please go here.
Surrogacy can pose a large financial burden. The overall cost can be approximately USD 80,000 to USD 100,000 if the commissioning couple can donate their own eggs or frozen fertilized embryos. The price involves fees towards the agency, gestational carrier, legal counsel, and social worker, in addition to legal and medical expenses and in many cases, money to cover the carrier's travel and accommodation. The expenses arising from harvesting the egg or embryo are also already included in the aforementioned price. In spite of the large cost of using a surrogate, it is a very appealing option for many childless couples, particularly those who have experienced multiple miscarriages or failed assistive reproductive technology procedures. Surrogacy could also be very attractive for those who have a genetic defect that they do not wish to pass on to their baby or for females who have been unsuccessful at carrying a pregnancy to term. Unlike adoption, surrogacy programs provide childless couples the ability to have a baby who is genetically related to at least one of them.
Besides being expensive, surrogacy can also be an emotional experience. It can also have a lot of legal issues. In such regard, most childless couples who decide to use surrogacy, use an agency that is knowledgeable in facilitating the process and provide emotional and legal support to all individuals involved. Working with a surrogacy agency confers you access to the most thoroughly-screened would-be surrogate mothers. Some surrogacy agencies also offer financing options, or direct you to companies that do. Please click here, If you want to know about surrogacy.

They will also assist you in finding legal counsel, and assist you in any financial agreement. As you can see, surrogacy involves a great deal of work, which explains why it is essential that you choose an agency that has has been in business for years, if not decades, and has a long list of successful surrogacy cases. An experienced, adequatelyequipped and staffed agency should be able to juggle a number of responsibilities successfully.
